Venda Nova do Imigrante

Venda Nova do Imigrante is a municipality located in the mountains of Espírito Santo at about 730 meters (2,400 feet) in elevation. The area spans roughly 185 square kilometers and is defined by farming operations that grow a wide range of crops.

The municipality arose in the late 1800s when northern Italian immigrants arrived and established farms in the mountainous terrain. These settlers shaped the region through their agricultural practices and cultural traditions.

The town preserves Italian traditions through local festivals and customs where polenta, wine, and traditional music play a central role. Visitors can see these elements woven into the daily life and celebrations of the community.

Visitors find numerous farms throughout the area where you can purchase vegetables and fruits directly from producers. It is best to arrive during daylight hours to visit the farms and select the freshest products available.

The elevation and climate allow tropical and temperate crops to be grown side by side on the same farm. This makes the region unusual in that bananas and apples can thrive in the same area.
